SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure provides an optimized four-step process for preparing an ultra-pure composition comprising arimoclomol citrate, i.e. N-{[(2R)-2-hydroxy-3-piperidin-1-ylpropyl]oxy}pyridine-3-carboximidoyl chloride 1-oxide citrate. The optimized process comprises a plurality of optimized sub-steps, each contributing to an overall improved process, providing the ultra-pure composition comprising arimoclomol citrate. The ultra-pure composition comprising arimoclomol citrate meets the medicines agencies' high regulatory requirements. An overview of the four-steps process is outlined below:

Step 1: Overview of Process for Preparing ORZY-01

Step 2: Overview of Process for Preparing ORZY-03

Step 3: Overview of Process for Preparing Crude BRX-345 (ORZY-04)

Step 4: Overview of Process for Preparing BRX-345 (ORZY-05)

The disclosed methods contribute to control of both the chiral purity (i.e., the enantiomeric excess) of N-{[(2R)-2-hydroxy-3-piperidin-1-ylpropyl]oxy}pyridine-3-carboximidoyl chloride 1-oxide citrate is above the threshold set by the regulatory authorities, and that the ultra-pure composition is essentially free of previously identified by-products, such as RRT 0.74, and N-nitrosopiperidine.

The chiral purity of the ultra-pure composition comprising arimoclomol citrate is resultant of the chiral resolution step, i.e. the method according to “Step 2” of the present disclosure. The present disclosure provides a correlation between the cooling rate of the crude reaction mixture in Step 2 and the chiral purity of ORZY-03 (See, Examples 4 and 5). The chiral purity of ORZY-03 obtained in Step 2 is retained toward the end-product, but may be further enhanced by re-crystallization.

The present disclosures identified a by-product RRT 0.74, as shown below, which is formed during the salt exchange in Step 3 in which “crude BRX-345” is prepared from ORZY-03.

EXAMPLES Example 1: Preparation of ORZY-01

ORZY-01 may be prepared according to the optimized step 1 method described herein below, and may also be prepared using the process as described in WO 01/79174.

Materials

Ethanol: SDA-3C was used. SDA (Specially Denatured Alcohol), 200 proof, SDA 3C, containing Isopropanol, N-Hydroxy-1-oxy-nicotinamidine “PCO-N-oxide”, and 2-Hydroxy-4-azonia-spiro[3,5]nonane chloride “Azonia” are supplied by Chiral Quest.

Method

One or more seeding crystals of ORZY-01 can be added to the reaction container to completely remove the genotoxic compound, N-nitrosopiperidine in the product of Step 1, ORZY-01.

Sodium hydroxide (50% solution in water, 68.4 g, 855.0 mmol, 1.31 eq.) was mixed with water (215.8 mL), then cooled to 10-20° C. 2-Hydroxy-4-azonia-spiro[3,5]nonane chloride “Azonia” (153.0 g, 1.32 eq) was charged, the mixture was cooled to 5-10° C. and agitated for 40 minutes.

Ethanol (SDA-3C, 1000 mL) was charged, followed by N-Hydroxy-1-oxy-nicotinamidine “PCO-N-oxide” (112.0 g, 653.0 mmol, KF=11%). The mixture was heated to reflux (˜80° C.) for 4 hours. A ˜95% Conversion was achieved for the coupling reaction. At the completion of the reaction, the batch was cooled to ambient temperature (˜25° C.) and left overnight. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature (˜25° C.). Water (100 mL) and conc. HCl (68.4 mL) was charged to adjust the pH between 5 and 7 units (additional 6 ml 6N HCl was used for pH adjustment). The internal temperature was maintained below 30° C. during the neutralization. The batch was distilled to −5 vol. Conc. HCl (370 mL) was charged. The batch was cooled to 0-5° C. A solution of sodium nitrite (55.4 g, 803.0 mmol, 1.23 eq) in water (75 mL) was slowly charged maintaining the internal temperature between 5-15° C. Almost complete conversion was observed. The mixture was left at 5-15° C. overnight. DCM (600 mL) was charged, followed by 40% an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (491.6 g) maintaining the internal temperature below 15° C. (pH>13.1). The DCM layer was separated, and the aqueous layer back extracted with DCM (500 mL). The organic phase was distilled to −5 vol. MTBE (5 vol, 500 mL) was charged. The mixture was distilled to −5 vol. MTBE (5 vol, 500 mL) was charged, the mixture was distilled to 5 vol again. MTBE (5.5 vol, mL) was charged, the batch was cooled to 0-5° C. for 3 hours. The slurry was filtered. The wet cake was washed with MTBE (1.5 vol, 150 mL), then dried under vacuum overnight. 163.2 g isolated product ORZY-01 was obtained with 79.6% yield (99.7% purity).

Results

The optimized process provided the isolated ORZY-01 in 79.6% yield (99.7% purity).

By optimization of the reaction conditions, the optimal reactant ratio, reaction time, and temperature were developed allowing product ORZY-01 to be isolated in 79.6% yield without intermediate isolation or unnecessary steps. This yield is significantly higher compared to previous reports.

Example 2: Step 1A Optimization

As summarized in table 1, a study was set up to understand the key reaction parameters impacting the overall results of the reaction. Three factors, eq. of “Azonia”, reaction temperature and reaction time, were studied against five responses: PCO-N-Oxide (%), Product (%), impurity A (%), impurity C (%) and reaction conversion (%).

TABLE 1 Reaction conditions and results. Entries 3, 6, 7, and 8 resulted in high conversion and yield. PCO-N- “Azonia” Temp. Reaction Oxide Intermediate Impurity Impurity Conversion Entry (eq.) (° C.) time (h) (%) product (%) A (%) B (%) (%) 1 1.5 60 3.5 25.6 71.1 0.3 2 73.5 2 1.5 80 1 7.1 89.2 0.6 1.8 92.6 3 1.5 80 6 1.3 94.3 2.4 0.3 98.6 4 2 60 6 12.9 83.2 0.9 1.8 86.6 5 1.5 40 6 78.1 21 0 0.7 21.2 6 2 80 3.5 0.6 94.4 2.9 1.8 99.4 7 1.5 80 3 1.5 94.1 1.5 0.9 98.4 8 1.5 80 6 1.1 94.4 2.1 0.4 98.8 9 2 60 3 28.7 68 0.3 1.9 70.3 10 1 80 1.5 20.9 76 0.6 1.7 78.4

When other factors were taken into consideration (e.g. minimize formation of impurities), the optimized conditions are: 1.32 eq of “Azonia” and 3.6 hours reaction time at 80° C. If the eq. of “Azonia” increases to −2 eq, the reaction will finish in 2 hours. However, too much “Azonia” leads to more impurity formation and thus leads to extra difficulties for the isolation of ORZY-01. If the eq. of “Azonia” decreases to lower than 1.1 eq., the reaction fails to reach a 95% conversion after 6 hours.

The step 1A coupling reaction should optimally be carried out at reflux temperature of water/denatured ethanol (SDA-3C) mixture at ˜78-82° C. and for more than 2 hours. Based on the present studies, a lower temperature significantly slows the reaction.

Example 3: Step 1B Optimization

Step 1B optimization was carried out after the completion of step 1A optimization. After completion of Step 1A, the mixture was subdivided into several equal portions and these portions were utilized for step 1B optimization to ensure that step 1B experiments began at the same point, which would offer comparable results for the study.

Two factors, eq. of Sodium nitrite and reaction temperature, were studied against two responses: reaction conversion (%) and product purity (%). For a minimum of 95% conversion and 80% batch purity (before isolation), at least 1.2 of sodium nitrite is needed at a temperature between 5° C. to 15° C. Additional sodium nitrite may be added if the reaction conversion is less than 95%. The reaction temperature range for step 1B has previously reported as −5° C. targeting 0° C. This temperature range for step 1B led to an incomplete reaction at the beginning and required several recharges of the sodium nitrite solution to push the reaction to completion.

In addition to incomplete reaction, a delayed exothermic reaction was observed at 0° C., which is a potential safety concern for a larger scale process. Therefore, the target reaction temperature was increased to 5-15° C. for step 1B successfully resulting in the reaction finishing with a single sodium nitrite charge. The in situ generated diazonium salt is quickly converted to ORZY-01 by HCl without any delayed exothermic reaction observed. The optimized reaction time of step 1B is approximately 1 hour.

The reaction temperature for step 1B was optimized to 10±5° C. A delayed exothermic reaction may be observed when the reaction temperature was lower than 5° C. A temperature higher than 15° C. will result in a very vigorous reaction and prompt safety concerns.

All processing is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere.

Method

A container was charged with water (6 mL), EtOH (95.06 mL), L-DBTA (15.83 g, eq.), and ORZY-01 (15.00 g, 1.00 eq.) at 20° C., and the container was subsequently rinsed with EtOH (19 mL). The mixture was subsequently heated to 65-70° C. and stirred for h. Subsequently, the mixture was cooled to 55±5° C. and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at 55±5° C. ORZY-03 seeds (0.15 g) were added; and the mixture was cooled to 20±5° C. at a cooling rate of 30 K/h. The mixture was subsequently stirred for 12 h at 20±5° C. and the solid composition was subjected to trituration with EtOH (15.02 mL). The washed solid composition was re-charged in a container, and EtOH (72.24 mL) and water (3.60 mL) were added to the container. The mixture was heated to 55±5° C.; and stirred for 1 h at 55±5° C. Subsequently, the mixture was cooled to 20° C. and stirring was continued for 2 h at 20±5° C., and the solid composition was subjected to trituration with EtOH (15.02 mL). The triturated solid composition was subsequently dried at 45° C. to provide ORZY-03.

Results

ORZY-03 was provided in 29% yield based on ORZY-01 with 100% chemical purity and 98.1% chiral purity.

Conclusion

The present example demonstrates that by employing a carefully selected amount of L-DBTA and a cooling rate of at least 15 K/h for the chiral resolution, a surprisingly high chiral purity as well as chemical purity is obtained. The chiral purity of ORZY-03 obtained in Step 2 is retained toward the end-product ORZY-05, and may be further enhanced by re-crystallization. The improved chiral resolution step, including the cooling rate of at least 15 K/h, enables the provision of an ultra-pure composition comprising arimoclomol citrate (ORZY-05) meeting the regulatory requirements of the medicines agencies.

TABLE 2 Cooling rates and the resulting chemical and chiral purities of ORZY-03. Cooling rate Chemical Chiral to 20 ± 5° C.; purity purity first cooling (ORZY- (ORZY- Entry step 03) 03) 1  8 K/h 100% 94.0% 2 15 K/h 100% 96.3% 3 17 K/h 100% 96.7% 4 20 K/h 100% 97.2% 5 30 K/h 100% 98.1%

A cooling rate of 15 K/h or higher, results in an increased chiral purity. A chiral purity of 98.1% means that 98.1% of the composition corresponds to enantiomerically pure ORZY-03.

The cooling rate is a critical process parameter in the chiral resolution of ORZY-01 to provide the enantioenriched salt, ORZY-03. Surprisingly, by employing a cooling rate of 15 K/h or higher, a significantly increased chiral purity of ORZY-03 is provided.

Method

A container was charged with K₂CO₃ (16.8% aq. sol., 140 mL, 2.4 eq.) and ORZY-03 (54.0 g, 30 mL) at 20° C., and the mixture was stirred for 5 min. DCM (130 mL) was charged to the container at 20° C., and the mixture was stirred for 5 min. After the phases had settled, the phases were split. DCM (120 mL) was added to the aq. phase, and the mixture was then stirred for 5 min. After having settled, the phases were split. DCM (130 mL) was added to the aq. phase, and the mixture was then stirred for 5 min. After having settled, the phases were split. H₂O (480 mL) was added to the combined org. phases (370 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 5 min. After having settled, the phases were split and the aq. phase was discarded. The container was rinsed with DCM (32 mL).

The combined org. phases (400 mL) were charged into a container at 20° C., and citric acid (anhydrous, 0.37 g, 1 mL, 0.02 eq.) was added. The solution was distilled at 40° C. to a target volume of 200 mL. MeOH (150 mL) was added to the solution, and the solution was distilled at 40° C. to a target volume of 250 mL. MeOH (320 mL) was added and the solution was passed through activated charcoal filter (Carbofil CA) at 20° C., and the filter was rinsed with MeOH (10 mL). The color of the solution was subsequently determined to be >B6 using IPC-1.

A citric acid solution was prepared by charging citric acid (15.01 g, 130 mL) and MeOH (100 mL) in a separate container and stirring for 5 min. at 20° C. The citric acid solution was then charged to the container containing the reaction solution, and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. and stirred for at least 12 h at 0° C. ORZY-04 was then isolated by filtration of the obtained suspension, and washed with MeOH (40 mL). Finally, the solids were dried at 45° C. in vacuum.

Results

ORZY-04 was obtained as a solid in 89% yield based on ORZY-03 with 99.10% chiral purity.

This example describes conversion of ORZY-03 to ORZY-04 by removal of the dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid via treatment with potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃), followed by treatment with citric acid to afford ORZY-04.

The present example demonstrates that addition of a catalytic amount of citric acid before the solvent exchange from DCM to MeOH suppresses the formation of “methoxylated ORZY-04” (also referred to as RRT 0.74). The example further demonstrates that washing the combined DCM phases with water, further reduces the levels of impurities, such as RRT 0.74.

Further, this example demonstrates that extraction of ORZY-03 after neutralization with aqueous K₂CO₃ solution efficiently removes the by-product called “Hydrolized ORZY-03”.

Thus, a high chiral purity and chemical purity is obtained.

Finally, this example demonstrates that ORZY-04 is stable after 168 h of drying at 45° C. in vacuum.

Method

ORZY-04 (30.0 g, 15 mL) and H₂O (58 mL) were charged in a container and heated to 70±5° C. until a clear solution was observed. The solution was then cooled to 30±5° C. Acetone (291 mL) was added, and the mixture was cooled to 0±5° C. The mixture was agitated for 12 h at 0±10° C. The suspension was filtered and the isolated solid was washed with acetone (38 mL) at 20° C. Finally, the solids were dried at 45° C. in vacuum for at least 12 h.

Results

ORZY-05 was obtained as a solid in 90% yield based on ORZY-04 with 99.96% chiral purity.

The impurity “Hydrolized ORZY-04” may be formed during storage of ORZY-04 in water. However, after crystallization of the product as outlined in this example, the impurity remains in the mother liquor.

This example demonstrates that recrystallization under the given conditions results in high chiral and chemical purity.

Example 8: Step 4—Correlation of Cooling Time and Particle Size of ORZY-05

Materials & Methods

The materials and methods were essentially as in Example 7. In the present example, the cooling time of the cooling step of from 30° C. to 0° C. subsequent to addition of acetone was varied and its influence on the particle size of ORZY-05 was determined. The cooling time is a measure of how long it takes to reach 0° C. from 30° C. The particle size distribution (PSD) data shown in Table 3 were acquired using static automated imaging (Morphology 4).

Results

The results of the present example is shown in the following Table 3A.

TABLE 3A Relationship between cooling time and particle size distribution (PSD) of the batches from campaign “O502FP-17” and “O505FP-18”. CE used herein refers to the Circle equivalent diameter of the ORZY-05 particles. The present example demonstrates a correlation between particle size, determined as PSD, and the cooling time of from 30° C. to 0° C. in the cooling step subsequent to addition of acetone. A shorter cooling time leads to smaller particle sizes. Based on the data of the present example, a cooling time below 5.5 hours results in smaller particles, determined by their mean diameters. The smaller sizes ease the preparation of dosage forms requiring a predefined amount of substance, and the smaller sizes increase the encapsulation yield when the dosage forms are capsules.

Example 9. Capsule Formation

Arimoclomol citrate was formulated into size “0”, bi-colored hard HPMC capsules for oral administration in the strengths of 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg 150 mg and 200 mg (corresponding to 31, 47, 62, 93 and 124 mg arimoclomol free base). The 50 mg, 75 mg and 100 mg strength capsules were manufactured using a 100 mg powder blend comprising 26.2% arimoclomol citrate with a homothetic fill (proportional decrease of the filling weight to the strength) of the capsules. Correspondingly, the 150 mg and 200 mg strength capsules were manufactured using a 200 mg powder blend comprising 52.6% arimoclomol citrate with a homothetic fill of the capsules. The capsules were packed in high density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles (185 mL), induction heat sealed with a foil liner at the neck opening and closed with a HDPE child resistant cap.

The manual wet granulation was replaced with dry granulation using roller compaction to avoid contact with moisture and omit the need for heat in the process.

The capsules can be swallowed whole or emptied for administration to patients with swallowing disabilities (e.g., emptying the Coni-Snap® sprinkle capsules).

The capsule contents can be dispersed into 10-30 mL of liquid (i.e. water or apple juice) as the patient or caregiver find most convenient, or it can be dispersed into one tablespoon of soft food (i.e. yogurt, apple puree, or pudding) before administration. The dispersed content can also be used for administration via gastric feeding tube. Stability of up to two hours in the dispersion has been demonstrated.

Dissolution

The method used for assessing the dissolution rate of the drug product was a Ph. Eur. paddle method (apparatus 2) using 1000 mL of 0.1M NaCl/HCl buffer (USP simulated gastric fluid without enzymes), the paddle rotation speed was 75 rpm, the samples were placed in standard Ph. Eur. wire sinkers with 10 mL samples taken at 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes, without replenishment, and filtered through 10 μm full flow cannula filters followed by final filtration through 0.45 μm nylon filters. Samples were analysed using a UV method with detection at 260 nm. External standards were used for quantification.

Evaluation of the dissolution profiles of the five different strengths showed little variation between the mean results for each strength.

The dissolution method for all strengths of arimoclomol citrate capsules was conducted according to USP <711> and Ph. Eur. 2.9.3 with apparatus 2. Percentage of drug substance dissolved was measured after 30 minutes, either with in line or off-line UV readings with detection at 260 nm.

HPLC Validation

The HPLC analytical procedure for Identification, Content Uniformity and Assay was validated with testing of Specificity, Range, Linearity, Accuracy, Repeatability, Intermediate precision, Robustness, stability of solution and filter compatibility.

Stability Study

Stability studies of 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg arimoclomol citrate capsules demonstrated good stability, 30%/75% RH.

Twenty-four months of long term storage of 100 mg and 200 mg strength capsules showed that there was no significant change to any of the key quality attributes (e.g., appearance, assay, impurities, moisture, and dissolution) over the time period at 25° C./60% RH and 30° C./75% RH, as well as accelerated conditions of 40° C./75% RH. The stability was tested in open storage and accelerated conditions (40° C./75% RH and 40° C./95% RH), which showed no significant change to any of the key quality attributes.

Example 10. Pharmacokinetic Studies

The population PK covariate model (popPK model; RUNU030), was used to simulate exposure variables (AUC_(0-8h,ss), C_(max,ss)) according to the dose regimens in Table 5 and Table 6. Steady state was ensured through calculation of the exposure variables following 7 days of dose administration at an 8-hour interval. For each bodyweight band, 5000 sets of bodyweight and age were sampled from the NHANES III database using age range of ≥2 years to ≤18 years. 5000 virtual subject PK profiles (per weight band), were then generated using the updated popPK model with inter-individual variability included.

TABLE 5 Dosage Regimen 1 Subject Body Weight Recommended Dosage 8 kg to 15 kg 31 mg three times a day >15 kg to 22 kg 47 mg three times a day >22 kg to 38 kg 62 mg three times a day >38 kg to 55 kg 93 mg three times a day >55 kg 124 mg three times a day

The dosing regimens in Table 6 result in higher exposure in the lower weight bands compared to Table 5, whereas the exposure levels in the higher weight bands are generally comparable between the two dosing regimens, see Table 7 and Table 8.

Absorption and Bioavailability

The PK parameters of arimoclomol after single dose and multiple dose administrations of arimoclomol were studied. After single- and multiple-dose oral administration of arimoclomol, the overall median t_(max) was 0.25 to 3.00 hours.

Following oral administration of arimoclomol, absorption is both rapid and extensive. In the human trial, 77.5% of drug-related material was recovered in the urine and 12% in faeces. The drug substance has demonstrated stability in both gastric fluid and intestinal fluid. The stability permits that the permeability of arimoclomol is high based on urinary recovery in human mass balance trial.

Arimoclomol exhibits linear and dose-proportional pharmacokinetics after single oral doses of 31 mg to 496 mg. The absolute bioavailability of arimoclomol following oral administration was 85% in rats (77% in males and 90% in females) and 75% in dogs relative to arimoclomol i.v. administration (based on AUC_(0-inf)).

The estimates of the proportionality coefficient (90% CI) for C_(max) and AUC_(0-inf) were 1.14 (1.07-1.20) and 1.03 (0.98-1.08), respectively; all values fell within the range of 0.8 to 1.25, which indicates dose-proportionality. Thus, arimoclomol is considered dose proportional following single dose within the dose range 31 mg to 496 mg (free base).

Arimoclomol PK parameters (C_(max) and AUC₀₋₈) increase in proportion to the dose after multiple-dose administration of 62-372 mg arimoclomol (free base) t.i.d. Arimoclomol PK parameters (C_(max) and AUC₀₋₈) increase in proportion to the dose after single-dose administration of 31-496 mg arimoclomol (free base).

Example 11: Determination of Particle Size Distribution (PSD)

Malvern Mastersizer 3000: Particle size distribution of Arimoclomol citrate (ORZY-05) was determined by light scattering using a Malvern Mastersizer 3000 particle size analyzer (Malvern Instruments Ltd, Grovewood Road, Malvern, Worcestershire WR14 1XZ, United Kingdom) with a Hydro MV wet-dispersion unit attached. 2-Propanol with 1.8 g/L SPAN-85 additive was used as a dispersion medium (“dispersant”) and added to the dispersion unit. Prior to sample addition, the background counts of the system were determined by circulating the dispersant through the measurement cell under measurement conditions (2500 rpm stirrer speed). Samples for analysis were prepared by adding a suitable amount of Arimoclomol citrate to a 10 mL vial and pre-dispersing it with dispersant under light agitation for a few seconds. The pre-dispersed sample was then pipetted into the Hydro MV dispersion unit filled with dispersant to meet a laser obscuration range of 10-15%. A single-use PE pipette was used for this and representative sampling from the 10 mL vial was ensured by continuous agitation. Ultrasonication was not applied on the added sample, as it was found to brake Arimoclomol citrate particles. Volume distributions were obtained and the D10, D50 and D90 were calculated from these distributions and reported. For each sample, a single sample preparation was analyzed using red light measurement only. Upon measurement completion, the sample cell was emptied and cleaned.

Morphologi 4: The Particle size distribution of Arimoclomol citrate (ORZY-05) was also measured using a Malvern Morphologi 4 equipment.

Wet measurement was used for the needle shaped particles. Different solvents were tested, and 2-propanol was found to give the best results with regards to non solubilization of the API. Measurements were made using a thin path wet cell (75*75 mm). Samples were prepared by adding 20 mL of dispersant to 10 mg of API, followed by 30 s of stirring and 2 min of sonication in order to break the agglomerates. A microscope magnifier of X10 or X20 was used, and segmentation sharp edge and/or thresholding was used to improve the focus microscope focus.
